From health care pioneers to trailblazing researchers, Pirates lead with purpose and passion.
Since 1907, ECU has answered the call to serve — redefining futures, uplifting communities and fueling student success from our region to the world. Today, ECU remains a force of determination, defined by the bold spirit of eastern North Carolina.
